The following was submitted by Max A. Leason, son of the artist.

Percy Leason was born in the remote wheat farm district of Kaniva, Victoria, Australia in 1889. His father was the proprietor of a saddlery shop, and his parents had expected he would carry on the family tradition of wheat farming or saddlery making. But in his adolescent years he demonstrated an early interest in drawing. He was reported to have built a studio in his back yard out of a piano case and odd bits of lumber (showing 500 of 15875 characters).
